Norquest College

I’m happy to read that someone has had a positive experience here, but I believe it differs between programs, because the one I am in has been awful. The disorganization, the cut backs in hours of classes and within lab (with no sign of reimbursement), and miscommunication has made me frustrated beyond words. As any student, you do what you have to do to get through your program to get your dream career.

I studied at Norquest for two years before I got accepted to the university, and I have only good things to say about this college. Firstly, the instructors are fantastic. They know the subjects they teach in and out, take the time they spend in a classroom very seriously, and make sure that all students gain as much knowledge as possible. Good attendance is of utter importance at Norquest because instructors don’t waste a single minute of their classes on chats and jokes, so skipping classes will have negative consequences and will result in lagging behind. In fact, I believe that Norquest has a policy regarding how many classes a student is allowed to miss during any given semester.
The second unique thing about Norquest is that this college is being attended by students from all over the world. I know for sure that Norquest college is the number one choice of new immigrants who just begin to study English, or need to take Academic Upgrading in order to proceed with their studies at UofA or Grant MacEwan. Norquest is such a fun place to meet new people!
Finally, what makes Norquest great is the fact that all classrooms are small. This way an instructor can devote a lot of attention to each student, and follow everyone’s progress up close.
In addition to Academic Upgrading, Norquest offers lots of certificate and diploma programs in the fields of business, human services and health care.
